This question has nothing whatsoever to do with VB.NET and, therefore, doesn't belong in the VB.NET forum. JAR is a Java file format so, if you're going to post this question in a developer forum, the only one remotely related would be a Java forum. Have you tried to find any information for yourself because I just Googled quickly and found a ton of information?

This is not a Java question!!
it's VB or C++ as I understand

And by the way, Jar files are not executable they're just compressed archives

[jmcilhinney]

JAR is short for Java Archive. Using a Java tool to compress an executable has nothing to do with VB. The fact that the executable was written in VB in the first place is irrelevant. You would create a JAR file the same way whether you're compressing an EXE created with VB, an EXE created with Java, an EXE created with C++, a text file or whatever.

You wouldn't post a question about vacuuming your car in a Ferrari forum just because your car happens to be a Ferrari. Vacuuming a car is the same regardless of the model of car so it's a vacuuming issue, not a Ferrari issue.

A previous post has been removed, I'm guessing due to the impolite name of the web site, but the sentiment holds. A simple Google search would have given you your answer.
